Re: Verdict reached in Dharun Ravi webcam spying trial

They are reporting incorrectly. This is what is confusing:

Indian-born Dharun Ravi, 20, could face 10 years in prison when he's sentenced. He shook his head slightly after the guilty verdicts were read for all 15 counts, including bias intimidation, a hate crime, and invasion of privacy.

He wasn't guilty of bias intimidation according the CNN's newsfeed.

It sounds like the same thing over and over again

Re: Verdict reached in Dharun Ravi webcam spying trial

The comments on the nj.com page disturb me.


Sadly, he'll go back to India and go about his life in a normal manner. It's not like India is some horrific place, and it sounds like he is from a well off family based on his comments about Clementi being "poor".

This guy seemed like he could have cared less about Tyler dying. I mean, he fell asleep during the trial and his lawyer had to wake him up!
It's disgusting what he did to Tyler...that poor kid and his family

Imagine trying to deal with your sexuality at that age and not wanting to come out and afraid of the responses and views of others and then for someone that you live with to video tape you... I can't imagine the torment he felt after that. I hope this is a wake up call to bullies out there and how your actions and words can really hurt others.
